League Night Preview: 7/7/15
It’s time to begin another season of the Lansing Pinball League. It’s hard to believe, but this is going to be the fifth season. I joined during the third meeting of the first season, and it hardly seems like so much time could have passed already. The league is still going strong – growing, in fact. Capital…

Season 5 Kicking Off July 7
Season 5 of the Lansing Pinball League is set to begin on July 7. This season is the first with a new semi-monthly format, as opposed to our previous biweekly schedule.

Zen Tourney Tonight
Tonight at 7:00 p.m. is the traditional post-season Zen Tourney. This is a split flipper tournament in which each partner may only touch one of the flipper buttons.

League Night Recap for 4/7/15
The seventh meeting of Season 4, on April 7, was very sparsely attended; I think it was the fewest attendees since the early days of Season 1. Quite a few stalwarts were missing, including Matt (Aaron took over organizing duties again). Joseph and I had our first absence since joining the League, as we were seeing…
